US elections: Barack Obama juggernaut 'will crush John McCain'
Telegraph.co.uk ^ | May 21, 2008 | Toby Harnden in Des Moines, Iowa

Senator Barack Obama has established a battle-tested 50-state grassroots organisation and fundraising “juggernaut” that will crush John McCain in November, according to his senior advisers.

With the Illinois senator declaring himself “within reach” of the Democratic nomination after achieving a majority of the pledged delegates - those allocated by vote - on Tuesday, his campaign has already pivoted to preparing for the general election against Mr McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee.

Although publicly heaping praise on Hillary Clinton, Mr Obama’s Democratic rival, and carefully avoiding putting pressure on her to drop out before the final states vote on June 3rd, the Illinois senator’s staff is impatient to launch a full-scale offensive against Mr McCain.

I don’t think John McCain realises what he’s in for,” said one adviser. “We’ve created a juggernaut,” said another, “and it’s going to overwhelm him.”

I said it before, and I'll say it again, America will not elect somebody whose middle name is Hussein! (Hope I'm right in November!

Bold talk for an Islamist appeaser. He couldn’t even crush Hillary Clinton, I doubt if he will crush McCain especially given the demographics of his support at the moment.

LOL, will there be suicide bombers in this "juggernaut"?

The only crushing we'll see in November is this Muslims militant ass.

He had better hope the juggernaut named Michelle or more nasty skeletons in the closet don’t crush Obama first.

The problem with Obama (Barak and Michelle), his supporters, and his advisors: they’re loosed lipped, they’re arrogant, and they have no restraint when they’re talking/giving interviews, etc. It will eventually lead to his failure as a candidate, IMHO.

Tell that to the Hillary supporters who are voting for John McCain! I know several and they are die-hard Democrats who are extremely active in politics (including money-wise).

Awesome video:

The same kind of terrorists who support Obama did this:

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.

Well well, Obambi’s historic “juggernaut” just lost Kentucky by 35 pts. and Indiana by 40 pts..... when he was already supposed to be the overwhelming favorite (nationally) and practically annointed as the nominee. Sure he can say the demographics were poor for him in those two states, but it’s still not exactly an awe-inspiring performance.

Forgive me if I’m not too impressed yet.

I would like to know who is investigating all this record-breaking Internet fundraising — is there any real control or check on where these hundreds of millions of dollars are coming from?? Can anyone actually prove that there are not a bunch of Soros-bot programs somewhere cranking out donations for Obambi?

Thank you. BHO is barely squeaking out wins against Hillary in red states with large black populations and getting crushed by Hillary in red states with small black populations.

The media loves this "unifier". He can't even unify his party of nut job liberals. Technically Obama has 1/4 of the vote, Hillary has 1/4 of the vote and McCain has 1/2 of the vote.

By the way, McCain had his arms ripped out of his sockets and his teeth knocked out by Communist and now he is on the verge of becoming President, I doubt this sissy has anything that can overwhelm him.

And Rove, as I understand it, has that nifty little videotape of Michelle at the Pulpit howlin’ against Whitey. Nobama has no idea what’s about to hit him from the RNC if he’s out there campaigning.

This week, his backpedalling alone on the danger of Iran is a week’s worth of soundbites. Plus his whining every time he’s attacked. Oh, and that Hamas endorsement.

Yes, yes, we've heard it all before. The Titanic is unsinkable and Dewey beats Truman. Pride comes before the fall.

Yeah? Wait until the country gets to see them in a debate together. Wait until McCain starts to sh!t hammer him on his appeasement and foreign policy ignorance. His hypocritical and doubletalking statements about Iran and dealing with our enemies.

If the Obamaites think that his flubs or his Rev. Wright issues are going away, they're nuts. We're a long way from the fall. You'll see what a "juggernaut" is when Obama loses big time.

That does it! Cancel the election. We’ll just appoint (or is it annoint?) The Obamanator President for Life.

This guy is a superficial lightweight, just like all of his supporters.

Of course, as the dhimmiecratic Messiah candidate, the dead shall rise to vote for him.

“Tell that to the Hillary supporters who are voting for John McCain! I know several and they are die-hard Democrats who are extremely active in politics (including money-wise).”

Right. There are a lot of Hitlery supporters who will vote for McCain. They hate the DNC and what they perceive it has done to Hitlery and want her in 2012.

Unless Mc Cain screws up badly, he will win against Obomination.
